What are the sound characteristics of Carbon compared to Metals like Copper and Silver?


How does carbon as a conductor compare, sound-quality wise, to metals like copper and silver?

I don't have any experience with pure carbon-based interconnect design such as Van Den Hul, but from what I've read it is supposed to be very smooth and laid back sounding. I'm curious to know if anyone has ever tried such cables in their system and how you thought it compared to traditional copper/silver interconnects.

carbon will ring much less, sound dead and thuddy i would think... at least applied to speakers etc etc - i have no idea how it works as conductors of electrical signals

cerious is a brand that makes well regarded carbon based cables i believe... i have never been motivated to try

like all real expensive cables, there are always strong vocal proponents... but you never know who is drinking what cool aid... who is shilling for what...
